Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building, 45 Pipe Lane, or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The proposal would preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building because the distinctive architectural authority of the front elevation and the predominance of the limestone and thatch architecture of the main body would endure, with the rear extensions being acceptably subordinate and the removed elements being substantially more modern than the historic core.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 2 of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031Design Principles Policy WAR1
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
